East Harlsey, Low Moor Lane According to the OS benchmark database there was a gatepost at this location with a benchmark. Having cut away the creepers from a very old wooden gatepost I was disappointed not to find the remains of a cut mark. Some wood has rotted in an area where the mark is likely to have been, but today it is completely indistinguishable.

Pond at site of former brickworks There's a clue to the origins of this large pond as just across the road is Brickyard Wood. A look at old 6" OS maps reveals a brickworks here, so this must have been the clay pit. No sign of any ruins nearby.
